     Series 2 
  • In Life Hurts, seeing Simba and Nala on the first day of their new relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend is enough to alleviate the sadness of Tayari's story. This moment in particular stands out:

That sounds pretty silly for an incredible cub like you. I know you'll get better. I believe in you. You wouldn't be my hero otherwise.
